Is this a new Wii U Star Fox game or an elaborate joke?

Supposedly secretly filmed on a mobile phone, if it is, it's being developed by Platinum Games. If not, it's more false hope. The subtitle is "Eladard" which is a planet that was supposed to appear in the unreleased Star Fox 2.

One of the biggest red flags that I personally have is that the title screen says it's copyright 1997 - 2014, when the original Star Fox came out in 1993. The copyright dates should read 1993 - 2014. What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments below.

Research? A normal google search shows Starfox's copyright was renewed in 1997 for Starfox 64 and it even shows it on the fucking title screen, so it would show up like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Ju1IJZNng I thought the people that make Death Battle would be better at this.

Not happening. It's fake. I'll be done with Half-Life 3 before a new Star Fox came out. No, nope, no, this isn't happening unless Reggie or Iwata or Miyamoto come out and vomit it up to us. No. No! NO! All hope has already been lost! Quit crushing my dreams! (Help me)

I can't see Platinum doing a Star Fox game unless a lot of it takes place outside of the Arwing. That and Nintendo is probably really hesitant to pass a major IP off to an outside company after Other M. If it said Retro Studios then I might be more likely to believe it (well that and the copyright date).

The copyright date is a huge red flag...the SNES Star Fox counted after all and that was far before 97. I want a new Star Fox but I would hope Platinum finishes Bayonetta 2 before starting a new project.

Look, what is the context for this footage existing? Who is the person who is in a situation where they can see this footage, and are willing to show it off? And who would see it running on a TV, and not on a computer screen?
